Court of Appeals of Washington April 18, 1983, 10288-5-I (Moore v. Pacific Northwest Bell)

Ringold, J.

The plaintiff, Ralph Moore, appeals dismissal of his complaint against Pacific Northwest Bell (PNB) for negligent transfer of the telephone number he used in his taxicab business. We find that the court had jurisdiction of the subject matter and that genuine issues of material fact were presented, and therefore reverse.

Moore alleged the following facts.
